James Shapiro, Columbia University, author of 1599:
A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare
"In case anyone thought the tide was ebbing on Shakespeare and
film, here are Cartelli and Rowe riding the ‘new wave’
like pro surfers. As brilliant as film analysts as in their
understanding of Shakespeare and his current cultural contexts,
they are expert guides to a fascinating range of film adaptations
and to subtle and provocative ways of thinking about the motive to
adapt Shakespeare, about the strategies these films use, and about
the theoretical models we can use to understand them. I learned
much from every chapter – and so will my students as they
engage in my courses with all that this book so clearly and
helpfully encourages them to consider."
Peter Holland, University of Notre Dame
"Though now well established as an important branch of
Shakespeare research and instruction, the study of Shakespeare on
film has to keep moving to keep abreast of technological change,
fresh talent and new audiences. By focusing on work that is
contemporary, innovative and experimental, Cartelli and Rowe shift
the paradigms of Shakespeare on film, and facilitate new
interactions between critical, cultural, textual and media
studies."
Graham Holderness, University of Hertfordshire, author of Visual Shakespeare
